Hello Resnetters:

I am hoping to pick your brains about something.  Recently, it has been dec=
ided that some of our computer labs/help desks are being restructured.  Ins=
tead of having 3 separate locations for one area of our University, it will=
 be reduced to 1, big area, to handle lab functions and help desk support.

With that happening, I was hoping some of you could give some ideas of how =
your help desk (satellite help desks, if you will) are structured.

For instance:

Where do you have these locations on your campus?

How large are these locations?

What are contained in these locations (computers for students to use and wo=
rkshop to work on machines, etc.. The general layout)?

How are they staffed?  Is  there one worker that works there at a time or 2=
 or even more?

If they are staffed by students, what are the hours you have them open?

Does you help desk have a drop off service?

What kind of expectations are set for these locations with turn-around time=
 with support, etc, etc.  ?

Any information you can provide for me would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance!
